Abstract

A method of estimating a channel of a base station in a communication system using an IRS may comprise: receiving a first signal through a direct path between a terminal and the base station from the terminal and a second signal through an indirect path through the IRS from the terminal; estimating a first angle of arrival of the second signal received from the IRS; estimating a second angle of arrival of a signal transmitted to the IRS by the terminal based on the estimated first angle of arrival; estimating a third angle of arrival of the first signal received from the terminal based on the estimated first angle of arrival; and estimating path gains on the direct path and the indirect path based on the estimated first angle of arrival to the estimated third angle of arrival.
